All I'm sayin' is I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pulverize enemies.
All I'm sayin' is that I'm not ready
For any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me.
Both live in a locker.
Both live a lot longer.
Both livin' on laundry.
Both live a lot longer.
Hey and I'm not saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not petty
Yes and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin's that I'm not ready
So goodbye I'll be leavin'
In a seagull's dance.
So goodbye I'll be leavin'
I see no sense.
So goodbye, I believe in a seagull's sense.
So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense.
Linda Ronstadt was with this band before she went solo.
So goodbye, I believe
And it makes no sense
Try and believe
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.
So goodbye, I'll be leavin'
It makes no sense
This cryin' and grievin'
We'll both live a lot longer if you live without me.
So...goodbye I'll be leave
Since she don't care and I'm tired of breathing
So goodbye I'll be leavin'
I see no sense in the crying and breathing...
We'll both do our own laundry
If you live without me.
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me.
We're both livin' on laundry
If you live without me.
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me.
Classic song written by Michael Nesmith, who later went on to fame in 'The Monkees'.
Yes and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying the hotdogs aren't ready
Yes and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin's that I'm not ready
You and I cuddle to the beat of a different drum.
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum.
I would have cuddled Linda any time.
You and I turn to the beat of a different drum
You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum
You can't see the forest for the trees
To try and pull the reins in on me.
You cry, I wanna say it will work out.
You cry and moan and say it will work out.
You know I hobble to the beat of a different drum.
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum.
